Demo Workflow - How to Use workflowStaticData()
This workflow demonstrates how to use the `workflowStaticData()` function to set any type of variable that will persist within workflow executions. [https://docs.n8n.io/code/cookbook/builtin/get-workflow-static-data/](https://docs.n8n.io/code/cookbook/builtin/get-workflow-static-data/) This can be useful, for example, when working with access tokens that expire after a certain time period. Using `staticData`, we can keep a record of that access token and the expiry time and build our workflow logic around it. ## Important Static Data only persists across **production** executions, i.e., triggered by Webhooks or Schedule triggers (not manual executions!). For this, the workflow will have to be activated. ## Setup - Configure HTTP Request node to fetch access token from your API (optional) - Activate workflow - Test the workflow with the webhook production link - You can check the population of the static data in the single executions ### Feedback If you found this useful or want to report some missing information - I'd be happy to hear from you at [ria@n8n.io](mailto:ria@n8n.io)
